Beijing Radio and Television (China) reported that the 34-year-old male patient was hospitalized with chest pain. After being checked by Thanh Hoa University Hospital, the patient had atherosclerosis and needed lifelong drug treatment to control the condition.
Arterial fibrosis is a common cardiovascular disease, caused by the formation of plaque deposits lipids on the walls of blood vessels. These plaques will get larger, causing blood vessels to narrow and affect blood flow.
Accordingly, the cause of patients with atherosclerosis stems from unhealthy living habits. On average, a 34-year-old man orders food outside to order at home at a frequency of 2.5 times/day, mostly spicy grilled fish dishes, milk tea... These are considered foods that affect the cardiovascular system.
Sohu newspaper reported that the man in the report not only ate foods rich in calories and fat, but was almost physically inactive. Long-term intake of foods high in sugar and fat will lead to obesity, high blood pressure and other health problems.
Research published in 2024 in the Chinese Journal of Environment and Health shows that food containers brought back when exposed to hot food above 65°C will release micropsms and perfluorinated compounds. These substances have the ability to damage the endoscopic blood vessels, leading to the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, in addition to an unscientific diet and lack of physical activity, regular use of disposable food containers is a factor that negatively affects the health of the 34-year-old man.
With a modern lifestyle, the culture of calling home food is increasingly popular for convenience. However, this also leads to changes in people's eating habits, consuming too many calories, fat, ignoring the importance of a balanced diet.
Processed foods and fast foods not only cause weight gain but also cause health problems such as high blood pressure, high blood fat, increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
Therefore, we must be physically active regularly to improve cardiopulmonary function and strengthen the immune system.
The doctor recommends that people should limit their intake of high-calorie foods and increase the proportion of vegetables and fruits. Try to choose fresh ingredients, cook by yourself, avoid relying too much on ordered foods.
At the same time, you need to be physically active regularly with suitable sports such as walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, etc. You need to exercise at least 150 minutes/week or 75 minutes/week at high intensity.
If you order food outside, you should choose an environmentally friendly and healthy food container. Avoid using plastic products exposed to high temperatures, choose containers made from materials such as glass and ceramics to reduce the risk of exposure to chemicals.
